12// ── Unwind safety, asserted rather than inferred ────────────────────────────
13//
14// Holding an `Arc<dyn RateLimitCounter>` cost this type its automatic
15// `UnwindSafe`, because a trait object carries none of the auto traits unless
16// its trait says so. `cargo semver-checks` reported it as
17// `auto_trait_impl_removed` and was right to: a caller wrapping this in
18// `catch_unwind` would have stopped compiling.
19//
20// `UnwindSafe` is a safe auto trait, so it can be asserted directly, and the
21// assertion is true rather than convenient. Unwind safety asks whether a panic
22// can leave observable state torn. The counter's whole interface is "add one
23// and tell me the total": there is no multi-step invariant for an unwind to
24// interrupt, and the state that matters lives in another process entirely.
25//
26// Requiring the bound on the trait instead would have pushed the burden onto
27// every implementor for a property none of them need to reason about.
28//
29// `RefUnwindSafe` is deliberately *not* asserted. This type never had it —
30// `tokio::sync::RwLock` holds an `UnsafeCell` — so claiming it now would be
31// inventing a guarantee rather than restoring one. The first version of this
32// comment asserted both, and the guard below is what caught that.
33impl std::panic::UnwindSafe for RateLimitInterceptor {}
34
35/// A compile-time guard against losing that impl again.
36///
37/// The regression that prompted this was invisible to every local check — it
38/// compiled, passed clippy, and passed the tests; only `cargo semver-checks`
39/// in CI could see it. This makes the next one a build error in the crate that
40/// causes it.
